Starbynary is an absolutely amazing heavy, ProgressivePowerMetal band from Trieste / Milano, Italy. Started by friends, vocalist JoeCaggianelli and guitarist/composter LeoGiraldi in September of 2012, Starbynary was the result of a project idea after Joe left his former band Derdian. With the addition of LuigiAccardo on the keys and taking a collaborative effort with MikeLePond (SymphonyX bass player), Starbynary released their full-length debut, DarkPassenger in 2014 before completing the existing lineup with drummer AndreaJanko and permanent bass player SebastianoZanotto in 2015. At this point, Caggianelli pitched a fifteen year old idea about a trilogy of concept albums based on Dante’sDivinaCommedia and the band got to work and ultimately released the first of the series, Inferno a little over a month ago. I have to say that this huge undertaking is off to one helluva great start! Everything about Inferno has been done tastefully, professionally with mind-boggling musicianship. A real stunner. Once you read what Joe has to say, be sure to check it out on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon or wherever you get your musical fix. Well worth the time! Continue reading →
